In the snippet of the video posted by Ansar Abbasi -- no stranger to controversy himself -- Abrar says he was consoled by his mother with the kalma whereas mothers today hand a phone to a baby who hears the popular song Baby Shark, which he then sang.

The crowd -- seated at the August 26 event celebrating three years of PTI government -- lauded him for his singing and sentiment.

Several took to Twitter to express their views, from disappointment to support.

Actor and model Nadia Hussain however took strong exception to Abrar's message.

But her comment seemed to divide the internet even more.

Some people just couldn't understand Abrar's point at all.

Many shared Adeel Afzal's response to Abrar's message in which he says the singer should then make an album with children's lullabies instead of criticizing Baby Shark.

While one user had a snappy comeback we had to share.

Abrar is currently hosting a talk show on sprituality.
